Call for Participation: Interdisciplinarity Workshop at iConference 2014
Berlin, Germany
March 4, 2014
http://ischools.org/the-iconference/program/workshops/#workshop5

The Interdisciplinarity Workshop at iConference 2014 Berlin will address
the uniqueness of the iSchools, provide an interacting framework to discuss
and reflect on interdisciplinary practice, suggest some models and tools to
describe relations between disciplines, and offer a venue to brainstorm and
envision issues of interest with like-minded colleagues.

The purpose of this workshop is to provide a setting for continuous
dialogues among colleagues of how interdisciplinarity plays out in
practice. The workshop aims to create a forum for reflection on local
interdisciplinary practice(s) and to consider the possibilities of forming
research networks.

The workshop opens with a panel presentation of iSchool deans and senior
faculty discussing the current interdisciplinary practices in iSchools and
addresses frameworks of multi-, inter- and transdisciplinarity. These
presentations will form the basis for the small group discussions in the
afternoon.

Planning to attend? Please submit your statement through this workshop
submission. The submission deadline is *January 31, 2014*. More information
can be found: http://interdisciplinarity.cci.fsu.edu We will organize
workshop teams based on your responses.
